  1. Globaal = Je leest de informatiepagina voorafgaand aan de vragen en begrijpt waar de tekst over gaat.
  2. Intensief = Je leest de vraag nauwkeurig. Je probeert zoveel mogelijk informatie die je leest te onthouden. Gebruik je digitale arceerstift.
  3. Zoekend = Je weet wat je zoekt en kijkt of je in de tekst of het fragment het antwoord kunt vinden. Lees die zin / alinea helemaal. Daarna kijk je of je het antwoord ziet staan bij één van de gegeven antwoorden.
